Having done so, the expert is deemed to have used a paper document to provide an opinion pursuant to the provisions of that paragraph.

If the court has an expert state an opinion and finds it to be necessary in order to clarify the content of the opinion or confirm its basis, the court, upon petition or sua sponte, may have the expert state further opinions.

裁判所は、鑑定人に意見を述べさせた場合において、当該意見の内容を明瞭にし、又はその根拠を確認するため必要があると認めるときは、申立てにより又は職権で、鑑定人に更に意見を述べさせることができる。

The court must present the information detailed in a document under paragraph (1), or the information recorded in the court's computer files pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2) or the particulars recorded in a recording medium as referred to in that paragraph.

裁判所は、当事者に対し、第一項の書面に記載された事項又は第二項の規定によりファイルに記録された事項若しくは同項の記録媒体に記録された事項の提示をしなければならない。
